Color Theory & Practical Application

In this inspiring course, Russ Abbott will take you past the color wheel to a deeper understanding of a tattooist’s palette. Using examples from his own work, Russ will explain a variety of color secrets that will help make your work more interesting and effective.

I will share my approach to the artistry, design, and execution of my tattooing. I will also share some trade secrets I’ve developed over my career (technical tips, so to speak) I will also focus on how to honestly approach marketing and publicizing your work to develop a unique voice and style so as to be sought after as an influential tattooer and artist is this ever-expanding field. I have accomplished many of my goals as an artist and would like to encourage others do to the same.ONLY 10 SPOTS LEFT
